We all made it to the river to see it had already started to break apart. "Wait, maybe we should think about this." Susan said as we watched the ice crack and float off.

"We don't have time." Peter started getting annoyed with our sister.

"I was just trying to be realistic," Susan says with annoyance.

"No, you're trying to be smart... as usual!" Peter cries annoyed.

"Wait, maybe I should go first." Mister Beaver stated.

"Maybe you should." Peter said with a nod.

"Hey guys!" I called out but was ignored, Lucy looked to me with a frown.

"What's wrong Crescent?" Lucy asked.

"Well, I believe you have all forgotten that I have magic and I could have easily have used my magic to make us appear across the river bank, but you know who cares," I said absently. Lucy frowned and then nodded her head as she looked at everyone.

"Guess we will have to cross," Lucy muttered as we watched the ice crack under Mister Beaver.

"You've been sneaking second helpings, haven't you?" Mrs Beaver called out in question.

"Well you never know what meal is gonna be your last, especially with your cooking." Mister Beaver stated.

"If mum knew what we were doing..." Susan started again.

"Mum's not here!" Peter shouts as he takes mine and Lucy's hands and starts following behind Mister Beaver.

"Oh no!" Lucy shouts and I look up seeing the wolves.

"Run!" Peter orders. Wolves leap in front of us, growling and sneering. Peter pulls his sword out and holds it in front of himself, I pull my sceptre out and hold it in a tight grip.

"Put that down boy, someone might get hurt." The lead wolf says snapping his jaw at us, a taunting in his tone. I see Mister Beaver has been pinned down and was struggling against the wolf.

"Don't worry about me! Slit his throat!" Mister Beaver shouts.

"Leave now while you can, and your brother leaves with you." The wolf says, attempting to manipulate us.

"Stop Peter, maybe we should listen to him!" Susan says not understanding anything going on.

"Smart girl." The wolf growls approvingly.

"No, she's not!" I called out. "You listen to me wolf. If you think I am going to let my siblings go with you, you are so terribly wrong," I growled, it sounding animalistic, something I have never done before mind you. The wolf stepped back a bit shocked by the growl.

"Look, just because some man in a red suit hands you a sword doesn't make you a hero! So just drop it!" Susan shouted, ignoring me.

"No Peter! Narnia needs us!" I shouted.
